Propaganda and empire / John M. MacKenzie
Titre : Propaganda and empire : the manipulation of British public opinion, 1880-1960 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John M. MacKenzie, Auteur Editeur : Manchester ; New York : Manchester University Press Année de publication : 1984 Importance : (277 p.) Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7190-1869-5 Note générale : Autres tirages : 1990, 1994, 1997, 2003 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Media and public opinion Great Britain Imperialism English public opinion British colonies. Résumé : It has been said that the British Empire, on which the sun never set, meant little to the man in the street. Apart from the jingoist eruptions at the death of Gordon or the relief of Mafeking he remained stonily indifferent to the imperial destiny that beckoned his rulers so alluringly. Strange, then that for three-quarters of a century it was scarcely possible to buy a bar of soap or a tin of biscuits without being reminded of the idea of Empire. Packaging, postcards, music hall, cinema, boy's stories and school books, exhibitions and parades, all conveyed the message that Empire was an adventure and an ennobling responsibility. Army and navy were a sure shield for the mother country and the subject peoples alike. Boys' brigades and Scouts stiffened the backbone of youth who flocked to join. In this illuminating study John M. Mackenzie explores the manifestations of the imperial idea, from the trappings of royalty through writers like G. A. Henty to the humble cigarette card. He shows that it was so powerful and pervasive that it outlived the passing of Empire itself and, as events such as the Falklands 'adventure' showed, the embers continue to smoulder.
